Hello Guys I was just wondering if you were around today.

I have as you can tell had to work the bank holiday.

Wedding was great Dad's best man forgot the wedding bands, so had to lend my Dad mine and the wifes which meant ours have been blessed twice WOW.

Good to see or my cousins (50) mostly lads and all into there cars. Lee has got a blue V Spec like mine and is going to Silvestone with me racing.

Good to see your around Weasel, had some good news over the weekend though. Uncle Peter is an architect and is designing Sky Scrapers in New York, just recently married Jane who is from NY. and I could be coming over for a while, maybe could be working over there but things are still early in discussion.

Good to hear the weather is getting better. Over here it's still overcast and the summer is yet to kick off. Have you heard anyhting

[Oak1ey]

Well it 13:15 pm here and lunch is in about 2 hours off home to see the wife but more importantly have a blast in the Scooby.

Weasel am I getting used to the car as I keep feeling it's not as quick as it used to be. Also apparently stock for it 280 BHP with the exhaust 300+,

[Weasel 555]

designs skyscrapers eh very nice, well gimmie a shout when your on the way over the pond

as for yer 555 , how many miles on her, when was last time you had her serviced etc

[Oak1ey]

To be fair he designs lots of things but currently working in NY, as for the car it was serviced by Prodrive UK about 6 weeks ago, and it wasn't cheap either. Maybe it's me just getting used to the acceleration and thats it.

[Weasel 555]

^yup thats the problem once you have her tip top and your like wooweee
then you get used to it and are like damn i need more power

[Oak1ey]

Thing is it's quick to 50mph in second gear as well and quick on the breaks to 0mph in a maters of 2 seconds or so. I suppose getting her to Silverstone will see the real benefits of the car.

I am currently looking at a few minor mod's and the biggest one is taking the top intercooler and moving it to the front and adding a Storm Wide body kit so it looks similar to the 22B.

Can't see me ever selling her so it's a case of when money allows. I'll have to get hold of the graphics for thwe side and email them over to you.

[Weasel 555]

you have a link to the storm kit ?
